Executive Health’s doctors understand that many people suffer from claustrophobia and may find the prospect of being inside an MRI scanner challenging.
If you tell us about your situation at the time of booking your full medical check-up, we will invite you to view the MRI scanner and to have a trial run inside the MRI. This will allow you to see that Executive Health’s MRI scanners are much wider than you may have experienced previously in more traditional medical facilities. At the same time, you will be shown how to use a hand-held button that can stop the scan within seconds should you start to feel anxious.
Should you still be feeling apprehensive on the day, we can provide you with a mild sedative to settle your nerves and you can invite your partner, a family member or friend, to sit beside you during the scanning process.
